Click on the search results below. We'll talk more about how to search for items later, but for now, we'll all look at this list of sources together.

Read 3 reviews of Clean, the one from School Library Journal, which we will all open together, and then you may choose two others from this list of results, options include: Bulletin for the Center for Children's BooksThe Horn Book GuideVoice of Youth Advocates, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, What do Children and Young Adults Read Next.
